On Saturday night last the citizens
of River Falls met in convention fol
the purpose of putting in nomination
city ticket for officers for the ensu-
ing year. Hon. J. ID. Putnam was
made chairman and G. Il. Morse sec
rotary, and the waters soon began to
bubble. The first effort was for a
candidate for mayor. and the tug was
between Il. n. Jensen, Geo. Fortune
and G. /. APP Roberts. When Mr.. Az
Roberts was sailing upward toward
the summit of success, letter of dec.
linatiOn was received from him which
confused his supporters and set the
bubbling political waters to boiling
After brief calm, cry was made for
+. j. Burhyte and he was at once nomin-
ated by reclamation; but he would not
stand the racket and positively de-
clined to run. This SO wearied the
voters that shift was made, and an
effort put forth TO nominate treas
urer. Ed. Levings and Geo. Pratt
were balloted for TO WEAKNESS, and an
adjournment followed during which
tho ulielthG Nalus hlduo IHcii HuihlH-
ations. The convention then resumed
work and nominated +. ID. Levings
for treasurer and w. p. Knowles for
assessor. Then with a whOOp and a
hurrah DR.. Ballard was nominated by
reclamation for mayor and the caucus
adjourned.
On Monday it was early discovered
that the boys had been more political
than religious over Sunday and run
ming caucus was held during the day
which put an opposition ticket in the
field, making it certain that there was
fun ahead for election day which all
could enjoy if 50 disposed without
spending a cent.

Early Days on the Chippewa.
BY A PIONEER.

Our first raft was of logs stoutly
fastened together with spring poles,
so as to allow good deal of play and
bending as we rode the waves i'll the
rough places, which made the raft
bound about, and open and shut like a
shark jaws after an African at sea.
1t was a beautiful day in May, and
here above the falls for a few miles
the river was calm and beautiful,
studded on either side with pines and
dotted with small islands. Everything
was lovely, and hopes and anticipa-
lions ran high as we glided out into
the beautiful Chippewa. The lovely
morning and surroundings, and antici-
pated meetings at home sitter a solitary
winter s sOjOurn away up here in the
pines, seemed 10 inspire every one with
intensest good nature, and Norman
broke forth in his rapture and sang to
the grandeur an old pathetic song; and

deep pine forest and die in its solitudes
we could hear the Ominous roar of the
wild waters of the falls; and all hilar-
ity, all vocal demonstration, was
hushed, in token of the dreadful peril
of this first attempt at running the
fearful cascades.
Men of experience know too well
that water is as imperious as air; as
unmanageable as the hurricane. You
must take it as it comes and make the
best OF it.
Poor. unlucky Norman! one of the
sharp corners of life was close upor

the arm of Him. whose handiworl

gemmed the river with islets of beauty
could rescue.

The New Town of Hager,

In Pierce county, Wisconsin, located
on the c. B. & N. r. r. just across the
river from Red Wing, Mimi, offers a
field to business men seeking good
locations. A large volume of trade
has for long series of years passed
over the river to Red Wing. This
trade should be handled by the people
of Pierce county within their own
boundaries, and the recent completion
of the G. b. & n. r. r. has put this
result within the reach of Pierce
county business men.
1t is probable that good lime and
brick could be manufactured near by
and investigation might show good
opportunities for some who are en-
gagged in these branches OF business.
Inquiries regarding the town OF
Hager should he addressed to St. Pau
Land Company, st. Paul, Mimi. There
